It's the same reason that we clean up our own yard when we know there are far dirtier places that time would be better spent and make the city look better. We haven't fully grasped the "one world" concept yet. We want our micro climate better.
Ah, but here is the rub. If you buy the assertions about man-made global warming being the result of CO2 produced by humans then there is no difference in CO2 emissions in Laos vs CO2 emissions in Montana. Period. They claim that atmospheric CO2, produced by man (cause they can't do anything about natural CO2), is the primary driver of global warming. The idea that the West, with the larger economies and higher consumption of fossil fuels, can continue to shave a percentage point here or a percentage point there yet ignore the established and proven things that could be done to cut CO2 output in the third world by a 1/2 or a 1/3rd defeats their own argument.
We are paying billions for what looks more and more like a fake crisis used to levy taxes and regulations upon the West while the largest pollution sources are found in the developing world. The dirtiest water and most hazardous materials are found in the developing world.
They can't have it both ways. If a cow fart in India has as much impact on the atmosphere as a cow fart in Fargo, ND, then it stands to reason that every nation on Earth should view each coal plant stack equally and it would therefore be the responsibility of all of us to clean it up. We should take the steps there to get their air to the standards we reached ten years ago (much cleaner). That is not the way it works though..... this scheme has cost us a massive amount of money and retarded our economic growth and it has not gotten any warmer despite their predictions spanning over 20 years. The UN seeks to gain control of major economies in the name of "climate change." Eventually, left unchallenged and unchecked, they will come for your stove just like they demonized your SUV.
